Jodie Foster is getting ready to return to the director's chair, this time on the set of "House of Cards." The American actress will direct an episode in the second season of the Netflix political drama series, Thewrap.com reports.

This means that the series, headlined by Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright, will have yet another major Hollywood name in its credits. During the first season, the show's executive producer David Fincher directed the first two episodes before passing the torch to Joel Schumacher ("Trespass"), James Foley ("Who's That Girl"), Charles McDougall ("The Good Wife"), Carl Franklin ("Falling Skies") and Allen Coulter ("Boardwalk Empire").

Jodie Foster has already directed three feature-length films: "Little Man Tate" (1991), "Home for the Holidays" (1996) and "The Beaver" (2011). This will not be the first time that Foster has directed for Netflix: she has already filmed an episode of "Orange is the New Black," which debuted in July.
